K&S, what else. Here's the stand of Mitsuko Tonouchi, whose work I admired the most at the whole show. Great ideas, impeccable techniques, outstanding colour combinations.

Clever as I am, I just managed to cut the lady's name tag out of the picture. Olga Something... (let's google a bit: Pobedeskaya!) These are her own designs on the background, and I think she took part in the fastest knitter competition, becoming second there.

I think I've got more of them on my computer at home - just didn't put them all to the blog. There was an amazing lion pattern she had made (I've seen it on her site as well, somewhere in the archives).

I must say that her work was the highlight of last year's show. Both the colours and various techniques were just breathtaking.

About Me

Knitting has come to me quite naturally. Our whole family does something with their hands (knitting, crocheting, cross stitching), even my father has knitted himself mittens when he was only a boy. At the moment I'm really lucky, living in Central Europe and having a relatively easy access to German, French and British yarns. And that shows in my flat. I really enjoy all the different colours and the structures of the yarns and am always trying some new stuff, techniques, patterns. And this may sound like a cliché, but for me knitting is a journey, you never know what you're going to encounter on the way. Love the experience; whether I finish a garment or not is irrelevant.
